The runtimes for EMX 0.9d. Needed for many programs on Hobbes. Not required if you download the complete EMX development kit. Included in eComStation.

This software is distributed in two modes:

as compressed package that you have to download and manually install; if prerequisites are required, you will have to manually install them too;

as RPM package; you can install it using your favorite rpm package manager, that will take care to download and install both the software and its prerequisites.

Choose the installation mode that you prefer. Please note that not all the versions are available in both the installation modes.

Installation with rpm

This program is installable using the rpm package manager. See below for the install string. Required prerequisites are automatically processed by the package manager and, if needed, downloaded and installed.

Introduction
------------
emxfix04.zip is a fix package for emx 0.9d. It contains all fixes and
new features of emxfix01.zip through emxfix03.zip, and new fixes.
If you are a programmer who uses emx for creating applications,
install emxfix04.zip. If you just use applications which use emx,
install the emxrt.zip corresponding to emxfix04.zip (see the ZIP
comment). You don't have to install both.

In consequence, emxfix04.zip can be distributed only if distributed

Caveat
------
Do not install this fix package unless you have installed emx 0.9d.
It does not work with any other release of emx. Do not install
emxfix04.zip if you have already installed a later fix package.

emxio.dll 60
emxlibc.dll 63
emxlibcm.dll 64
emxlibcs.dll 64
emxwrap.dll 60
Installing this fix package
---------------------------
1. Stop all processes which use emxlibcm.dll or emxlibcs.dll. Use
emxload -qw
to stop preloaded programs under OS/2.
2. Unpack emxfix04.zip or emxrt.zip (see introduction) in the root
directory of the drive where you have installed emx:
cd \
unzip -o emxfix04 (or `unzip -o emxrt')
Do not use the -f and -u options of unzip -- the time stamp of
header files has not been updated.
If you get an error message such as
error: cannot create emx/dll/emx.dll
about not being able to create a DLL file, create a temporary
directory and run emxuzdll.cmd in that directory, giving the path
name of emxfix04.zip or emxrt.zip and the path name of the emx DLL
directory on the command line:
mkdir \emxtmp
chdir \emxtmp
emxuzdll a:\emxfix04.zip c:\emx\dll
chdir ..
rmdir emxtmp
This will replace the DLLs in c:\emx\dll with the DLLs in
emxfix04.zip even if the DLLs are in use. The new versions of the
DLLs become active as soon as the last process referencing them is
terminated, or on the next reboot. Therefore, you should reboot
after running emxuzdll, otherwise you won't know if and when the
new versions become active. (Actually, you don't need a temporary
directory, any directory not containing any DLL files will do.)
3. Type the following command to rebuild the OMF-style libraries (you
don't need this step under DOS):
cd \emx\lib
emxomf -s -l -q gpp.a mt/c.a st/c.a st/c_p.a
emxomf -s -l -q mt/c_import.a st/c_import.a
To take advantage of the library fixes, relink your programs.
You should keep the file \emx\doc\emxfix04.doc as it shows what fixes
you have installed.
